Literacy in My Life -- Sports

Sports is life. I am into sports, although not very good at, but have been involved in many sports since young. My father taught me to play table tennis in primary school, because it is China's national sport, as long as one is a Chinese, for better or worse, he or she is able to play a little while. Table tennis is the first sports I learned, althought I was not very good at it. But because of table tennis, I made the first group of friends in my life. Everyday after the school, we would join together in the backyard to play table tennis, although we were all very poor in it, but we had a lot of fun in it.

Later I fell in love with Frisbee, this was also affected by my father who was very "trendy". He bought a Frisbee home, since then we would play the Frisbee together in the yard every weekend. And that scene has become an unforgettable childhood memory in my mind. After I came to the United States, every time I see somebody playing Frisbee, it always makes me think of the scene which father and I were playing Frisbee so happily. At the moment, I feel like that the stream of warm is flowing in my heart.

When I was in high school, because of the heavy work load, the opportunity to exercise became less gradually, and the whole people seem lacking vitality. Once during the enrollment of our school's sports meeting, the monitor appointed me to take part in the of long-distance projects--1,500 meters. I thought he was crazy, even the 200 meters would make me dying at that time. So I refused him immediately, "are you kidding me ?" I said to him. The following day I received a letter from the monitor, he said that I was a strong girl, he did not believe that I cannot overcome it, he said if I kept looking for an excuse to comfort myself, I would certainly be a failure. I got a lot of inspiration from his letter, then I decided to take part in the game. I went to playground to practice everyday after class, from where I could even not be able to finish the whole run to where I could easily cover the 1500 meters, only the people who experienced it will know how hard it was to do that. During the game time, I did not get a good ranking, but what made me be proud of myself is that I completed the game, which I used to think that I would never do.

Sport is not only good to my body and sprite, it also brings me friendship, and a strong will. As there is life, there is sports.
